Of course it's about the spin!! It's Jersey!!!
It's about Corzine and Roberts. Corzine has nothing to lose in the political game, Roberts has ALOT to lose! I have more faith in Corzine as a proven business man and relative "newcomer" to the political scene, than those that have been in office for decades. The budget crisis didn't happen in the last week... it's been a problem every single year for years, yet here we are in this mess because those in power don't want this to effect the November elections. Where were the politicians that have been in office as a career? They were in charge of the state for years, and nothing has changed. We're still broke, all efforts to balance the budget have resulted in no change or an increase in the deficit for the state, and every year we blame the state workers. Well, now the state workers aren't around and everyone is ticked off. You can't have it both ways.
I have to give Corzine credit for guts! He's stopped the political machine in it's tracks... something that we've needed for decades.
